Peer reviewedWeinert, F. E.; Helmke, A. – Learning and Instruction, 1998
Two studies involving approximately 200 children aged 4 to 12 years show the expected increases in the level of cognitive competencies but show that these increases are not universal. Large inter- and intraindividual differences are found for various types of memory tasks as well as for different domains of scholastic achievement. (SLD)

Peer reviewedde Jong, Ton; Ferguson-Hessler, Monica G. M. – Learning and Instruction, 1991
Problem-solving models in memories of 11 good and 12 poor novice first-year university students were studied. The students reconstructed physics problems seen briefly, relying on models in memory. Both good and poor students had models of problem situations at their disposal, but good students performed better than poor students. (SLD)
